Comment:After 3 years I started to get uncontrollable reflux and occasional diarhea. MDs didn't know what caused it. 6 months later diarhea was severe and I started to loose weight. 3 months later hospitalized with renal failure, elevated liver enzymes, dehydration, low BP. Colonoscopy severe spruelike enteropathy (celiac disease)did not respond to gluten free and no DNA or antibodies to confirm gluten intolerance. Sent to NYC hospital they found it was due to Azor 5/40 Now 6 months later still battling vitamin and mineral deficiencies, loss of hair, skin rashes, weak nails, inflamed vocal chords due to acid reflux which is now under control. The MD who prescribed it told me he knew of the "side effect" which nearly killed me, but he never connected it to my symptoms, of which he was made aware early on..He is no longer my cardiologist!dHide Full Comment
